Professor Daquan Yu of Xiamen University introduced the development history of advanced packaging technology in the invited report on "New Material Challenges in Advanced Packaging". With the diversification of integrated circuit applications, emerging fields have put forward higher requirements for advanced packaging, and advanced packaging has become an increasingly important means to continue and expand Moore's Law. High-density TSV technology/Fan-Out fan-out technology has become the core technology of current advanced packaging due to its flexibility, high density, and suitability for system integration. Professor Yu believes that my country's integrated circuit packaging materials and technology are far from the international advanced level, and technological development is lagging behind. It is necessary to carry out collaborative innovation of industry, university, research and use, accelerate the pace of innovation, and reduce innovation costs. "Packaging companies + equipment companies + materials companies + scientific research institutions" collaborative innovation is of urgency, and it is necessary to organize collaborative research to meet the global technical challenges in the post-Moore era.

Professor Yuzheng Guo of Wuhan University, in an invited report on "Silicon Carbide Gate Oxide Interface", through calculations clarified that there is a significant low electron density layer SiOx at the interface, and found that the interface Si-Si structure is the main defect structure of the transition oxide layer, and it is also possible There are a small number of vacancy defects. In the thermal oxidation of SiC, the generation of interface carbon defects is inevitable. It is found through calculation that the carbon-carbon defects on the side of the interface SiC have an important impact on the performance of n-channel MOSFETs. Therefore, the specific structure types of carbon defects and their impact on the interface need to be focused attention. Professor Guo believes that in the interface passivation process, the introduction of N source and B source gas at the same time can further reduce the defect state.
